Hosea 5:15–6:3

^15wI will return again to my place,

until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face,

and ^xin their distress earnestly seek me.

Israel and Judah Are Unrepentant

6“Come, let us ^yreturn to the Lord;

for ^zhe has torn us, that he may heal us;

he has struck us down, and ^ahe will bind us up.

²After two days ^bhe will revive us;

on the third day he will raise us up,

that we may live before him.

^3cLet us know; ^clet us press on to know the Lord;

^dhis going out is sure as the dawn;

he will come to us ^eas the showers,

^fas the spring rains that water the earth.”
